Abstract

A primary packaging for a surface-stabilized surgical dressing (3) comprises a carrier layer (4), a contact surface with adhesive regions on the side nearer the skin which is protected, before the surgical dressing is used, by a detachable covering layer (6), and a supporting film (7) which comprises at least one layer detachably applied to the surface of the carrier layer (4) farther from the skin and which can be removed from the surgical dressing (3) after application. The supporting film (7) forms part of the protective packaging of the surgical dressing (3).

Description

The invention relates to a primary packaging for surfacestabilised dressing materials, which include a base layer and a skin-side contact surface, having contact adhesive regions, which contact surface is protected before use of the dressing material by a peelable protective layer, and include an at least single-layer supporting film, which is releasably attached to the surface of the base layer facing away from the skin and can be removed from the applied dressing material. In this case, the removal of the protective film from the applied dressing material takes place after fulfilling its function of surface stabilisation of the base layer.
Dressing materials can be subdivided into two major groups. One group comprises those materials which are fixed at the point of their application by additional devices or measures, whereas in the case of the other group the fixing is performed by contact adhesive regions of the dressing material itself. In the case of the latter group, the 1 requirement for thin and flexible base layers ensuring a useable water vapour permeability and good clinging to the contours of the point of application encountered difficulties during application. For example, after peeling off the protective layer, curling-in of the marginal areas, sticking together of contact adhesive regions and creasing readily occur, which makes the dressing material concerned unusable.
Here it has been possible to achieve an improvement by attaching a so-called supporting film for surface stabilisation (DE-A-19 35 916), a layer more rigid than the base layer being bonded to the said base layer in such a way that it can be detached after application. In the meantime, this principle has proved successful (compare DE-C-33 44 334 and EP-A-0144891 ) .
However, it must be regarded as disadvantageous that the supporting film is discarded once it has been detached from the applied dressing material and consequently is restricted in its function to surface stabilisation. The effort involved in providing the material and taking the measures to produce this additional element of such dressing materials must be described as not inconsiderable.
It is therefore the object of the invention to extend the function of the supporting film in such a way as to improve the relationship between effort and benefit.
The object of the invention is achieved by a primary packaging of the generic type in which the supporting film or the supporting film and the protective layer is respectively part of a packaging protecting the dressing material.
US-A-4 450 844 discloses a patch test dressing without supporting film, in which an active-agent reservoir is accommodated in a housing of flexible material. This housing is fixed at the marginal surfaces on the skin by means of a contact adhesive sheet-like structure. The known dressing has1 a cover film which can be peeled off before application. 4 For the purposes of the invention, primary packaging is understood as being a layer which directly envelops the dressing material, it being possible for the individual items packed in this way to be combined by secondary and tertiary packaging to form larger units. The actual protection of the substrate is in this case primarily ensured by the primary packaging. In this way, it is possible to avoid packaging elements and consequently waste polluting the environment.
Advantageous further developments also emerge from the subclaims.
The invention can be applied in the case of all dressing materials surface-stabilised by supporting films. These dressings materials are known and are used, for example, as wound dressing, immovable bandages, plaster and incision films giving off active agents. The base layer of the dressing material may be, for example, a textile material, a polymer material or a layer containing metal. As supporting film, an at least single-layer sheet-like structure of materials containing polymers, paper or metal is used. In surface area, it has at least the same extent as the base layer, but in a preferred development of the invention can project beyond the edge of the base layer on one or more sides. The releasable connection between supporting film and base layer can be produced by known techniques, such as for example producing the base layer directly on the supporting film, heat sealing, welding, adhesive bonding, stamping or generating electrostatic forces of attraction.
The materials for producing the contact adhesive regions ensuring contact with the skin are selected from the abundance of possibilities from the point of view of non-toxicity. A peelable protective layer protects the skin contact surface of the dressing material before use.
A person skilled in the art is familiar with the purpose of a primary packaging of such a dressing material. The previous solution, of introducing the dressing material as a whole into a wrapping enclosing it on all sides, which is then closed at all edges by, for example, adhesive bonding, sealing, welding or stamping, according to requirements, is not satisfactory owing to the use of materials which is necessary.
According to the invention, one surface of the primary packaging is formed by the supporting film, on the upper side or underside of which the sheet-like structure forming the remaining part of the packaging is fastened in the marginal area. The fastening can be performed, for example, by heat sealing, welding, stamping or adhesive bonding. If the supporting film has a surface area equal to that of the base layer, a fastening of the remaining packaging components is provided on the upper side of the supporting film. If the supporting film extends beyond the base film, it may be preferred to provide the fastening on the underside of the protruding parts of the supporting film.
After tearing open the bag-like primary packaging, the supporting film remains on the rear side of the base layer, thereby ensuring the desired stabilisation of the dressing material during application.
The fastening of the remaining sheet-like packaging material on the supporting film and the establishing of the releasable connection between supporting film and base layer can, according to the invention, also be performed in one step.
The selection of the remaining sheet-like packaging material is determined by the respective requirements of the dressing material to be packed, for which reason no generally applicable statements can be made. As a rule, apart from materials containing impermeable paper, polymers or metal, examples of other materials which come into consideration are those which, by their structure, are to be classified as textile sheet-like structures. The material selection need not be the same for the supporting film and the remaining packaging, but must take into account the given requirements.
The packaging may be equipped in the usual way with at least one tear-open aid, such as for example tear threads, predetermined breaking lines or the like. In the case of a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the dressing material has at least one active agent. If so, it ί may be a transdermal therapeutic system, in which case a single pack is unavoidable.
The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Fig.1 shows the diagrammatic cross-section of an embodiment of a dressing material packaged according to the invention and Fig. 2 shows the diagrammatic cross-section of a further embodiment of a dressing material packaged according to the invention.
As Fig. 1 shows, a base layer 4, formed from textile material, is coated by a contact adhesive layer 5, which may contain a pharmacologically active substance and has on the side facing the skin a covering layer 6, which here consists of a paper adhesively finished by siliconising. The supporting film 7 extends beyond the base layer 4 on all sides and is formed from a multi-layer film material which is more rigid than that of the base layer. It is bonded to the base layer 4 by heat sealing by means of points 8 distributed in accordance with a predetermined pattern, a sealing edge 11 being formed with the underlaid packaging film 10 during heat sealing.
In Figure 2, a further preferred embodiment of the invention is represented, in which the supporting film 7 has the same size as the base layer. The packaging film 10 encloses the dressing material and is bonded at the edges of 'S the upper side of the supporting film 7 to the latter. Here, the contact adhesive layer 5 does not have the protective layer in a separate form, instead the packaging film 10 includes the protective layer 6 as an integrated component; it thus assumes the function of the protective layer. The dressing material can be applied immediately after opening the pack.
A preferred embodiment of the dressing material according to the invention is described below with reference to an example; Example 1: Production of a packaged dressing material, part of the packaging acting as a supporting film.
A dressing material of the size 15 X 20 cm2, comprising a textile base layer and an active-agent-containing contact adhesive layer applied thereupon, is arranged centrally between two heat-sealable packaging material sections, projecting about 1.5 cm on each side. The packaging material is selected in such a way that the section coming into contact with the base layer can assume the role of supporting film. In one or two successive steps, the edge sealing the re20 releasable connection of the supporting film to the base layer are carried out. The finished sealed-edge bags are then manufactured in the usual way.
